306. Chapter 306 Scene 306 Cannes Film Festival
"We can recite every line in "The Red Detachment of Women". "Han Sanpin's face looked particularly excited under the light. He smiled and recalled the past. Then he looked at the fans on the street. A couple who were quarreling all used the lines in "If You Are the One". He also smiled and shook his head: "Now is the era of you young people."
"No, it's the era of filmmakers." Li Xiaole smiled and raised his beer glass happily.
"It's OK~" Han Sanpin looked at Li's father and laughed happily. Han Sanpin didn't know how long it had been since he was so happy, but he felt that the heavy shackles he had been carrying on his body were gone forever.
Under the night sky, beside the noisy dining table, a man who went to the countryside through the Cultural Revolution and went from the grassroots to the boss of China's largest film company, an ordinary worker who had a dream of film but could only sit in the factory with his boring and repeated work, and a man who experienced countless failures and eventually became a martial arts substitute in the film and television industry. Different three people sat together with the same dream, drank happily and enjoyed this quiet time together.
Although they have different identities and ages, the passionate feelings in their hearts are the same. Dreams are to hope to do things that are out of reach. At the beginning, they will always be ridiculed by others and experience failures. But one day, people will understand that these are not important. What is important is that we have this out of reach dream, and then do it with enthusiasm and live with enthusiasm. This is the meaning of dreams, without regard to whether we can fulfill this dream itself.
Two weeks later, after coordination between all parties, on the premise that Han Sanpin decided to take over as chairman of China Film Group by the end of the year, Li Xiaole officially took office as the director of the second studio after a simple interview process. The 21-year-old studio director is unique in the history of Chinese films, but it is incredible that there is almost no opposition within the group, and it can even be described as a result of expectations.
However, Li Xiaole, who was promoted to Director Li, did not have time to enjoy the pleasure of a huge increase in power, but had to deal with more and more complicated matters, such as transfers of personnel, project arrangements, and even wrote a five-year plan for the second production. Fortunately, after becoming the director, it was not all a headache for him. The information about the movie he could get more comprehensive.
When he looked through the information, he found that the number of screens in China had increased unexpectedly. The eight major theaters in China have accelerated the construction of the number of theaters. Many theaters that were originally completed at the end of the year have been newly built in the near future, and more theaters are also under construction.
Currently, the number of screens has increased from 2,437 yuan to 30 yuan. This explosive growth was originally something that made Li Xiaole happy, but he was a little unhappy because his nominal subordinate Jiang Wen's movie "The Sun Rises As Always" has finally completed the post-editing editing and will be officially released.
Of course, he hopes that Jiang Wen's movie will succeed, but he also hopes that the box office will fail. Otherwise, his "Let the Bullets Fly" will be ruined. The maturity of the film market and the ability to raise funds and divide the spoils by himself, Li Xiaole can finally film the "Let the Bullets Fly" that he has been dreaming of for a long time.
Just as he was planning the preliminary plan for "Let the Bullets Fly", the annual festival for filmmakers around the world is about to open. On May 15, the Cannes Film Festival will be opened.
"If You Are the One" was also sent to the review meeting by China Film Company. With no hope at all, Li Xiaole unexpectedly finally qualified for the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. Although everyone generally believes that the film has little chance of winning the award, it is also quite exciting to be qualified to be the world's highest film festival.
On the other hand, the Cannes Film Festival is also the world's largest film trading market. Han Sanpin's meaning is to ask Li Xiaole to take "If You Are the One" to go to Cannes to try his luck and see if he can explore more overseas markets.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiaole reluctantly got a chance to relax. On Monday, he flew to the beautiful southern town of Cannes, France, with Sun Li, Zhang Guorong, Lei Ting and several staff members.
As soon as he got off the plane, he was invited by the organizing committee to the Bariere Martestic Hotel on La Croisset Avenue. When the white staff entered the hotel gate to check in, Li Xiaole saw the stars wearing haute couture and ready to walk to the Film Festival Palace in a few days. The fragrant and gorgeous clothes appeared in clusters, which was dazzling.
In just ten minutes after completing the procedures at the hotel service desk, Li Xiaole saw the great American actor Tom Hanks in a black suit chatting and laughing with the radiant actress Sharon Stone in a red dress.
Next to it, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, the pair of Hollywood golden boys and girls, are looking for their luggage while quarreling.
Looking up again, he saw Sean Pan walking on the huge circular escalator, preparing to reach his room. Li Xiaole felt a little confused at the time, and looked at Zhang Guorong, Lei Ting, and Sun Li with a calm face.
"Hey, aren't you nervous?" Li Xiaole pulled Sun Li's sleeve. Forget it, Lei Ting and Zhang Guorong, are you Sun Li's mental quality better than me? You are not so excited to see these big Hollywood actors? These are the top actors in the world.
"..." Sun Li was silent, turned around and looked at Li Xiaole suddenly. After a while, she widened her eyes and said, "Where is this? Why am I here? Oh my God~ Is that foreigner Brad Pitt?"
Listening to this, not only Li Xiaole laughed silently, but even Zhang Guorong and Lei Ting couldn't help laughing. It turned out that Sun Li was not calm, but was scared to death.
After everyone entered their hotel room under the guidance of the hotel waiter, Li Xiaole finally felt that he had found the organization. Almost all the rooms on the third floor of the hotel were Chinese areas. Zhang Yimou's "Ten Faces" crew, Wang Jiawei's "46" crew, and one of the judges, Hong Kong director Xu Ke, all lived on this floor.
Just as Li Xiaole was about to leave to visit Zhang Yimou, the door was knocked open. It turned out that Liu Dehua, who had met in Hong Kong, was also the handsome guy Kim Sung-woo behind him.
"Hello, Director Li, I heard you are here, let's say hello."
"Hello, Brother Hua." Li Xiaole was a little surprised. Did big names like Liu Dehua come to greet him on his own initiative?
But something that Li Xiaole could not even imagine was still behind. That morning, this strange thing happened not only once, but many times. Zhang Ziyi, Yang Ziqiong, and Liang Chaogong Committee all came to him to say hello and had a chat. Zhang Ziyi even sat in his room for a while and chatted for almost half an hour before leaving.
Now Li Xiaole's position in the minds of Chinese actors has exceeded his own expectations. Looking at the beautiful French scenery outside the window, his mood is very wonderful at this moment, but in short, it feels very unreal.
This magical journey has just begun. The Bariere Matestic Hotel is built along the coast with a picturesque beach behind it. All the stars who stay in the film festival will enjoy a relaxing moment on this beach.
There are three major international film festivals in the world today, held in Berlin, Venice and Cannes, but only Cannes can attract the most stars and directors, the most important thing is that Cannes, a beautiful "Côte d'Azur" that relies on the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, is charming.
This leisurely atmosphere in southern France makes everyone feel intoxicated.
After getting up in the morning, affected by the lazy atmosphere of the French town, Li Xiaole also walked to the beach with a relaxed mood and found a place to bask in the sun. Looking around, the entire beach was full of beautiful and handsome men, as if they had entered the fairy tale world. Looking up, the British elf prince Orlando Bloom, wearing a pair of big shorts, was playing beach volleyball with a blonde actress Cameron Diaz in a bikini.
Looking to the right, in the bright sunshine, French goddesses Sophie Marceau and Fujiwara Nobuka, Maggie Cheung wore sunglasses and lay on the beach as white as a stall. Not far away, Angelina Jolie squatted with a few white children in the sand making sculpting laughter.
In the distance, South Korean actor Choi Min-sik lay clumsyly on the surfboard and was knocked over by a wave, causing laughter from his companions.
But the scene in front of him did not last long, and soon he integrated into the wonderful environment of the blue sea and tall green palm trees.
Walking to the convenience store, I took a piece of fried lobster from the southern French cuisine of millet from a French beautiful store clerk who was one head taller than him, and lay on a lounge chair in front of the bright sea breeze and sunshine, enjoying the delicious lobster meat. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this is the fucking life, and it feels good to not have to think about being dazed like this.
However, lying on the beach chair and in such a comfortable state, various plans for "Bullets Fly" were automatically generated in his mind.
His current troubles are how to improve the quality of "Let the Bullets Fly". This movie is probably the most romantic and legendary of all types of films in the mainland. The plot line settings are almost perfect, and the production is excellent. The temperament of this movie is Jiang Wen's domineering, refreshing, and freehand painting.
To talk about the problem, in Li Xiaole's opinion, there are probably two problems that are obvious. The first is the only female character in it. The wife of the county magistrate played by Liu Jialin seems too mature. The county magistrate is still a kiln sister. He has to marry a young and beautiful person, so he has to marry a young and beautiful person. It is unreasonable to choose a star in his 40s.
"We can recite every line in "The Red Detachment of Women". "Han Sanpin's face looked particularly excited under the light. He smiled and recalled the past. Then he looked at the fans on the street. A couple who were quarreling all used the lines in "If You Are the One". He also smiled and shook his head: "Now is the era of you young people."
